I suspected a long drive of sorts. My apologies to your wife.

BTW, this version of a cup holder also doubles as a no. 1 rest stop (if time is of the essence).

I would like to point out... That both smartasses that have responded to the canoe thread, have posted pictures of kayaks....

roof racks dorky? No. (when in use)

tho' I do wonder why some leave them on when not in use. --Actually, I don't wonder. I know that usually it's someone who doesn't know how much aero drag they cost (it's huge) and they prefer the extra wind noise (and expense) rather than losing that image of having SO much stuff. --that they need a rack.

...kind of like the Range Rovers and their run-away shopping-cart guards . . . errr, "Brush Guards"

From one smartass to another...

We were aware of that, but you seem to have missed something.

This is a roof rack thread, not a canoe thread.

Oops.

Sometimes a roof rack can take up valuable space in the garage that could be put to better use.

Everything is a tradeoff.

Roof Racks are super cool. Here's mine adding weight in a tricky towing situation.

Exactly the case in my case:

+1000 (which is why I have a ski rack to put on our family "car"... a 330i)

yes. just yes. I have had 4 mini vans now ( carrying equipment) and the first thing I do is take them off. I have a stack of them.
